The European Parliament has passed a historic vote to break up US tech giant Google. The EU doesn't actually have the power to break up the company, but it does send a message to Google that the EU is unhappy with its business practises.

At 58%, Lebanon had the highest level of concern of any country and identified religious and ethnic hatred as the single greatest danger to the world, correlating to its diverse religious makeup of Shia Muslims, Sunni Muslims, Lebanese Christians, Greek Orthodox, and Jews.

"The way I could show I was giving God control was to give him control of the cash register." The Good Lord has been something of a cash cow for Parris. Revenues tripled in the first week, she says.
